Did you know the Order of Preachers (also called the Dominican Order because it was founded by St. Dominic) has the nickname the "Hounds of the Lord" because "Dominican" is close to the Latin "Domini Canes"?

Monks can also do up to 5 unarmed strikes in a turn, each dealing at least 3d4 per strike. They can expend a ki point to attempt a Stunning Strike, and if the enemy fails a constitution check, they're stunned for a turn.

"There's an inverse relationship between respect and sects.
I'm talking 'bout religious sects like a Mormon sect,
that says you can't have sex with members of different sects, but you can't have sex with members of the same sex.
So if the sects can't be different and the sex can't be same, then the only sex left is some left-hand shame."

I really wanted to move to Texas before I read this. But now, I really want to move to Texas. Nothing has changed to be honest, but where in Texas should I move to? I dont like huge cities, but I do like bars and good food, so straight country life is out of the question, but so is Houston or Dallas. Any suggestions?? Texas seems awesome

Im being serious btw. I really want to move to Texas. After 30 years, I hate KY.

You should check out San Marcos it's a medium-sized city that has the small town feel. It has some really good pubs and bars, And quite a few really really good mom and pop restaurants. It's in the hills right by a nice river close to wine country and only an hour to austin, two hours to houston.

What they didn't mention is that San Marcos is a college town. Don't let that discourage you, it's still a fantastic little city. Cheap housing and boatloads of great food/booze, and it's a convenient drive from most every relevant Texas city.

I was down the aisle and he stopped me to tell me about the post he had seen. Before I walked away, I said "No one is going to believe this, so would it be okay if I got a picture of you two?". He said "of course" and now we're here.

What do you do? Sit down? Is there any way prevent the seizure? If not, do you keep something to put on the floor to keep from getting dirty? Does that not matter? Or do you always have a wheelchair handy? Am I a jerk for the impromptu, unsolicited AMA?

I have the seizure. Sitting down is fine, but I prefer to just get on my back and ride it out. I take medication, but sometimes seizures slip through the cracks. I don't carry anything to put on the floor. At that point, a little dirt on my shirt isn't a huge deal. I don't keep a wheelchair handy. You are not a jerk.

He was trained to alert people, but it became a pain in the ass. My attitude towards it once the seizure is over is "Oh well, let's go on about our day". Other people's reaction is "CALL AN AMBULANCE", so I did what I could to train that out of him. Now he puts his front paws on my chest and stands up and does what he can to keep people from touching me.

That makes sense. I know where you're coming from there - I used to have seizures in my teenage years and it was the worst thing when well meaning people phoned an ambulance. I'd either want to get the hell out of there to go home and sleep or just go about my day. Sounds like your pup keeping your space clear would be really helpful. Thanks for sharing I've always wondered about the pups.

For some reason, I had it in my head that the official advice was always "call 911 if someone seizes" unless they have an ID bracelet or something, even though the paramedics can't really do shit, but I see WebMD is contradicting me--they say don't call emergency services unless it's long, the person hurts themselves (of course), they're pregnant, or they stop breathing for a while.

A woman at my workplace had one once, and a coworker's immediate reaction was to call 911 in a panic while another coworker ran around trying to find someone with medical knowledge. (I wasn't there for it, but I envision them running around like headless chickens over some woman who just needed to lie down and get over it.) Anyway, the paramedics sauntered into the building so slowly you'd think they were running on the beach in Baywatch, LOL--couldn't give a fuck. The person who'd had the seizure was taken in and evaluated--she'd never had one before, so it was worth investigating, but of course, the paramedics can't do a damned thing except make sure she's not hurt herself.

Still, I imagine that if I were with other people when someone else seized, I'd have a hard time convincing them not to call 911. It's an automatic reaction for people to do so, and to want to do something when someone seems sick or hurt.

I like the idea of the dog just standing there telling people to GTFO, though. Kind of like that joke about the plane with automatic controls that has a pilot and a dog in the cockpit. The pilot's job is to feed the dog; the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the controls. XD

If I didn't have seizures, I'm sure my immediate reaction would be to call 911. From my experience, people tend to think a seizure and a stroke are the same thing, so they freak the fuck out. It's hard to be mad at someone for wanting to help...until you get the bill in the mail from the EMTS.

Also is that Jalepeno honey you referenced earlier the "Jalapeno Creamed Honey (8 oz)" listed on their web store?? I may have to place an order for some of that deliciousness. Also wtf is mesquite honey??? I think I need to try that too....

The Hermits of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel are a community of men called to a life of silence, solitude, prayer, and penance for the good of the Church and the salvation of the world. The hermits live in a Laura, a colony of Hermits living in separate dwellings around a central chapel, following the original Carmelite rule.

The vocation of the Carmelite Hermit is the contemplative vocation, and the foundations of his life are the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture and devotion to Our Blessed Lady under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel . For the hermit the cell is the place of encounter with God.

The Carmelite Rule states "Let each one remain in his cell, or near it, meditating day and night on the law of the Lord and keeping vigil in prayer, unless occupied with other lawful duties." The cell is also the place where the hermit sleeps and takes his meals alone, except on Sundays and special days where the hermits eat in a common refectory. The cell is composed of a study, chapel, bedroom, bathroom, and porch. Each cell is separated from the next by an enclosed garden.

I'm the electrical foreman on a new Monastery in Wyoming for an order of Carmelite Monks. In my life I have never met a more genuine and awesome group of people to interact with. I've been working around them for 2.5 years so far and I will be working for a number of years in the future before this job is complete. I'm so glad to get to work around / with these guys.

+1. Medical alert dogs come in all shapes and sizes. My corgi chihuahua mix can scent migraines, severe allergens that cause anaphylaxis, and I've found is now able to alert me of ovarian cysts before they rupture.

Ahaha it's just a joke that started when a bunch of snowboarders tagged a van for a ski company and then it was used in a "they see me Trollin" episode, then another company started selling skis with #stabsnowboarders emblazoned on the bottom
